Duncan MacLean, President of MacLean-Fogg Component Solutions, announced an investment in new machining equipment which expands the Fastener Components division's manufacturing capabilities. This new equipment is located in MFCS's Mundelein, Illinois facility. Mr. MacLean stated, “Our commitment to providing value-added, engineered, customer-focused solutions that leverage our material forming expertise and operational excellence is further demonstrated by our recent investments in state-of-the-art CNC and multi-spindle screw machines. These investments expand MFCS's ability to provide technologically advanced fasteners and engineered component solutions to our customers in the following industries: automotive, heavy-duty truck and trailer, industrial engine, off highway, recreational vehicle, military, defense and industrial. The new investments allow us to expand our product lines in valves, sleeves, fittings, pintles, shafts, small gears and fasteners. Applications for these products include automotive and heavy truck transmissions components (plugs, valves, and dampers), automotive safety components (for braking, seat belts and air bag systems), sensor components (housings, bodies) and engine components (for air and fuel systems).”
